Paul E. McKenneyandGreg Kroah-Hartman 81ba4dd37a rcu: Eliminate rcu_gp_slow_unregister() false positive
[ Upstream commit 0ae9942f03 ]

When using rcutorture as a module, there are a number of conditions that
can abort the modprobe operation, for example, when attempting to run
both RCU CPU stall warning tests and forward-progress tests.  This can
cause rcu_torture_cleanup() to be invoked on the unwind path out of
rcu_rcu_torture_init(), which will mean that rcu_gp_slow_unregister()
is invoked without a matching rcu_gp_slow_register().  This will cause
a splat because rcu_gp_slow_unregister() is passed rcu_fwd_cb_nodelay,
which does not match a NULL pointer.

This commit therefore forgives a mismatch involving a NULL pointer, thus
avoiding this false-positive splat.
